The Matsiko Children’s Choir, which gets its name from the Ugandan word for “hope,"
stops through Portland.
Powerful Performances Inspire Hope
Matsiko Children’s
Choir to visit Portland
The Vancouver Avenue First Baptist Church
will present the Matsiko Children's Choir.
Matsiko gets its name from the Ugandan
word for “hope." and the children perform songs
that give just that to those who listen.
A Matsiko performance includes more than
the children’s beautiful harmonies. During the
concert they share cultural dances, act out dra­
mas, and perform some of the most powerful
and complex drum routines ever heard.
Matsiko is made up of 29 orphaned and at-risk
children accompanied by five Ugandan leaders
and ten International Children’s Network volun­
teers. However, this choir is unique to all travel­
ing kids’ choirs from around the world.
These kids sing not for themselves, but for
others like them, in need of sponsorship and a
hand up into the world that it out of reach for too
many of them. Their distinctive sound comes
together to create a truly exceptional perfor­
mance one will never forget.
The concert is free to the public. Donations
will benefit the worldwide programsof the Inter­
national Children's Network.
This African choir will be in concert on Sun­
day, April 13 ,at 3 p.m. at the Vancouver Avenue
First Baptist Church, 3138 N. Vancouver Av­
enue.
For more information, call the Vancouver
Avenue First Baptist Church at 503-282-9466.
